Patent GB-864883-A (GB)
Title: Process for the recovery of niobium and/or tantalum from mixtures of their pentahalides
IPC: C22B34/24
Filed: 1957-11-07
Abstract: Niobium and tantalum are separated by passing their pentahalides, preferably pentachlorides, in contact with an alkali or an alkaline earth metal halide or a thallium halide to form a tantalum-containing double salt which is separated from the niobium enriched fraction. The reaction may be effected up to 500 DEG C. or up to 900 DEG C. with superatmospheric pressure, and the niobium and tantalum pentahalides are preferably entrained in a nitrogen or carbon dioxide carrier gas free from moisture.  The preferred reagent is potassium chloride alone or mixed with its double salt with a niobium or tantalum pentachloride; alternatively potassium fluoride may be employed.  The tantalum pentahalide may be recovered from the double salt by heating at 280-500 DEG C., preferably at a reduced pressure. Formation and decomposition of the double salt may take place in two fluidised beds operatat 280-500 DEG C. and 550-800 DEG C. respectively.  Potassium chloride in such a case may be mixed with an inert solid carrier such as carbon.  Alternatively the reaction may be effected between molten niobium and tantalum pentahalide or a solution thereof in an inert solvent and solid alkali metal halide. Thus the niobium and tantalum pentachloride may be dissolved in an inert solvent such as thionyl chloride, sulphur monochloride, sulphur dichloride, sulphuryl chloride or ethyl bromide, and passed through a column containing the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal halide. The eluates are recycled and the tantalum is eventually retained in the column as a double salt from which it may be recovered. According to Examples (1) niobium and tantalum pentachlorides were passed in a current of dry nitrogen over dry potassium chloride at 300 DEG C. whereby the bulk of tantalum was retained.  (2) A niobium/tantalum pentachloride mixture was dissolved in thionyl chloride, filtered in an inert dry atmosphere and run through a column of potassium fluoride.  After recirculating, the column was washed with pure thionyl chloride. The thionyl chloride was evaporated from the eluates leaving a residue of potassium chloride double salt of niobium pentachloride.  On heating to 550-800 DEG C. niobium pentachloride or chloro fluoride, free from tantalum was obtained.  (3) A mixture of niobium and tantalum pentachloride with dry potassium fluoride was heated under reflux and products volatile above 300 DEG C. were then drawn off.  The distillate was enriched in niobium and the distillation residue was enriched in tantalum.

Abstract: 1377155 Castors FLEXELLO CASTORS & WHEELS Ltd 9 Nov 1972 [25 July 1972] 34770/72 Heading A4U [Also in Division F2] A castor 5 is supported for rolling motion by a supporting structure 1, 2, 3 and can be braked by a braking element 30 which comprises a cylindrical stem 8 vertically reciprocable in a bore 9 in a bush 6 and having a head 10 with a shallow frusto-conical end surface 11 for abutting the outer periphery of the castor 5 the element 30 is biased to an upper inoperative position by a spring 13 and is moved to its lower braking position by depression of a flexible brake actuating strip 16, the strip 16 being locatable in its depressed position to hold the brake engaged. As shown in Figs. 1, 3, the strip 16 is of spring steel and is received in stepped slots each having portions 25, 26 in brackets 17, 18 which are bolted to a plate 1 of the supporting structure. The strip 16 has a tongue 22 received in the deep portion 25 of the slot in bracket 17, an intermediate portion 27 and a portion of reduced width constituting an operating lever 28. The strip 16 is first depressed to move element 30 to the braking position, pivoting for this vertical movement taking part abut tongue 22 engaging slot in bracket 17, and the lever 28 is then moved horizontally about this slot with part of lever 28 held in shallow slot portion 26 of bracket 18 and held depressed to hold the element 30 in its braking position. In the embodiment of Fig. 4 a latch assembly 31 comprising a latch 36 pivotable about a pin 35 acts to hold strip 16 in its depressed position. As lever 28 is depressed a detent 37 of the latch 36 is moved to engage the undersurface of plate 1 to hold strip 16 in its depressed position. To release the brake the latch 36 is moved, for example by the operator's foot, until detent 37 is clear of plate 1 whereupon the latch 36 springs to the inoperative position by the action of spring 38 and the strip 16 rises to release the brake.

[Class 3 (i).] A non-endless display band T is driven positively by teeth on an intermediate roller C engaging perforations in the band edges, and is reversed by reversing the direction of current flow through a driving electric motor D. The storage rollers U, V are positively geared to the intermediate driving roller C by pinions W, a, Y, b, X, and this roller C is intermittently actuated by the motor by Geneva - stop mechanism Q, P. A disc M on the Geneva pin-member shaft L has two oppositely disposed notches N into which can snap insulated shoes N<1>, N<2> to break contacts 13b, 10. Fig. 5 shows the electrical connections, 5 being a relay energized initially by a manual switch 1 and subsequently by contacts 2a, 2b, 2 after the contact 13b is closed by the forcing out of shoe N<1> owing to the starting movement of disc M. The switch 10 makes contact through a solenoid 6, which completes the circuit through a dashpot controlled armature 7 and prevents restarting of the motor should the switch 1 be left on. A dash-pot 12 delays re-making of the motor circuit until the armature 4 of relay 5 has fallen, to be ready for the next operation. A brake 15 on armature 4 absorbs the momentum of the motor when current is cut off.

Addition to 373,271. [Class 19.] A toothbrush having a pick displaceably mounted between the bristles as described in the parent Specification is modified in that the pick is held rigid when in a position for use, and is flexibly mounted, so that it can share the movement of the bristles, when not in a position for use. The pick 34 is provided with a flanged hollow cylindrical base 3<3> and is connected to the brush head by a gut string 81 passing through the base 3<3> and provided at its outer end with a stop 8<2>. The base 3<3> is adapted to be engaged by a slot 22 in a lever 21 pivoted at 20 to the handle 1 of the brush. A spring 11<1> surrounds the string 8<1>, one end of the spring being secured at the bottom of the recess in the base 3<3> and the other end passing through a slot 24 in the lever 21. To project the pick from the bristles, the free end of the lever 21 is operated by the finger of the user against the pressure of a spring 7<1>, whereupon the base 33 is engaged by the slot 22 and the pick projected until the stop 8<2> engages the base 33. When the lever 21 is released, it is returned to normal position by the spring 71, during which movement the slot 22 disengages the base 3<3> and the slot 24 moves relatively to the end 112 of spring 11<1> until the bend 113 is reached ; further movement of the lever then retracts the spring 11<1>, and hence the pick, until the spring abuts against the handle.
